A lot of people think that using an open house to sell a home is really old-fashioned. While I don't completely disagree with that opinion, using an open house to sell a home really can work, but it depends on your home.When it comes to open houses, the location, condition, and price are what drive the success or failure of the event. In our most recent open house, the property was right on the edge of downtown Trussville, and that helped immensely during the sale.

We also put out some yard signs advertising the open house, and we came in and staged the home for our seller to make it as appealing as possible to buyers. When we had the home looking nice, we then worked with the sellers and assigned a great price to the home. These particular sellers were very smart, and they priced the home just below market value.The result of this pricing strategy is that we now have six full-price offers on the home. Realistically, this seller will not have to pay closing costs and they're going to get more than the list price of their home.Open houses do work! It just takes some careful planning and prep work. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us today if you'd like to find out if an open house would work for your home.As always, consider us your #1 resource for real estate in Trussville.

Josh Vernon Testimonials

Jennifer - "Our house sold in the time frame we wanted it to and we ended up with the house we wanted to buy so we were very pleased. Timing was perfect from selling to buying, they really knew our personalities, and they knew how to handle any situation. They knew how we might be feeling about something and they were just very intuitive."

Jonathan - "We had a great experience. My wife and I really appreciated that they were not pushy. When we were looking for another home, we’d call them and say hey, we’re at this house, can we look at it and they would make last minute phone calls to make it happen. We really built a friendship with them, rather than just using them to find a house."

Walt - "We were selling home the same time we were trying to purchase home and we wanted it sold pretty quickly. Josh came in, made sure everything was staged right, and showed the house several times within the first week. We did a simultaneous closing on the houses and Josh did an excellent job of negotiation on our behalf. It was a great experience!"
